Field notes
The page uses an 1873 Library of Congress map as an illustrative sample and explicitly distinguishes built routes from proposed ones in its legend-reading note. The planned sequence may draw from route maps, line-opening notices, timetables or operating papers, freight or rate records, and letters, but only the first candidate is identified. The first dispatch is planned for January 11, 2027; mailing addresses would be collected at checkout after orders open.
